that parties who are able to raise the money

good reason for saying that either the Pennsyl-

on the terms that the c., Fl. g. D. is to get it,
we've the latter to fail in meeting the payment,

fact is that the Vandalia has been earning more
money the last six months than in any time in

the talk of removing the state

The talk of removing the state cap
jtal still continues, but one thing is
sAcertain, when it leaves Topeka it will
s never go to Mcpherson. We have no
,so ill will toward Mcpherson. 1t is. no
zee S doubt, good town, a growing town;
but its geographical position precludes
the idea of its ever being named as
our capital city. This talk of remov-
al may be a little premature, but there
is no question that when western Kan
sas is settled vast majority of tie
people will object to having the oapit-
al on the eastern border of the state.
1.-THE scheme of Garden City to have
- the state divided is not likely to be
looked on, with favor either by the
citizens of the state or by congress.
Kansas as an entirety will soon be one
of the great states of the union. but
divided neither portion would ever
rank with the great states of Ohio,
S1fiiinois or Texas The inevitable
logic of present events and the feeling
throughout the state is that, sooner or
later, the capital will be near the
geographical center of the state.
